Snow Storm in Brooklyn - cont.

Here is a shot of my street from my front window as of 9am this morning. Our street remains impassable. All train lines are suspended except the 7 (Manhattan). Most bus lines are also suspended. No worries, I am nice and toasty by the radiator in the living room with a hot cup of Earl. Enjoy the holidays!

Winter Storm in Brooklyn

The snow began falling the morning after Christmas (Merry Christmas to you and yours) and continues today. Winds are gusting up to 35-40 mph making it more difficult to clean up and travel. This picture was taken of my street last night at around midnight. I will post the same area out front as it is today. Take note of the cars.

Tower

This is another shot taken from the Coney Island boardwalk. My guess is this is a decorative antenna. It looks like a bungy ride of sorts.

Coney Island Boardwalk Pier

I had to get Kei to email me the pic she took with her cell before I could post this. Shortly after our meal at Famous Nathan's we found our way through Luna Park (aka Coney Island Amusement Park) to the huge and lengthy boardwalk. It felt great to be at the Atlantic Ocean again, and better yet the realization I am a short train ride away from it.

I really like it here in Brooklyn.

Famous Nathan's

Since 1916 they have been serving up the goodness I just ate! I just need to figure out how to order my hot dog with chili, fresh onion and yellow mustard. I made that exact request but I received cooked onions with a mustard sauce and it was fantastic. I can only imagine my taste buds' response to the way I really want it.

Me and Keisha are now in search of the boardwalk here at Coney Island and Luna Park. I will post another pic after the jump (the next post).

Javon's School

Six "short" blocks (short blocks are street to street, long blocks are ave to ave - 3 short = 1 long) away on 8th avenue sits Javon's school. I don't know the history of this building yet, but when I do I will post another picture and share. I really hope he likes it out here. We had a good thing going for him in Rochester and he made lots of good friends over the last few years there.

Dinner With Dad

As my Dad and Janis' visit came to a close, we went out to dinner Tuesday night at an authentic Italian restaurant in the neighborhood called Sette.

We chose to sit outside under the awning because the weather was so nice. 80 degrees with a gentile evening breeze after a hot day it seems like the obvious choice to eat al fresco. Right on the corner of 7th ave and I think 3rd St., we had a good view of our fellow Park Slopers walking about.

The food and atmosphere were perfect. I wished I had taken pictures to better record the moments in time. However, it made such an impression that I won't have trouble remembering it.

I learned what desert wine is when they brought us all a little shot-sized glass with the check.
